Malayalam film superstar Suresh Gopi was on Saturday asked to leave a venue where a meeting of the Nair Service Society (NSS), a powerful social group, was being held here, about 130 km from the capital city.

Apparently referring to the recent row triggered after his visit to the Nair Service Society headquarters, KPCC president V M Sudheeran Saturday said he has respect for all social organisation leaders and also the opposition though there are differences in their policies.

PK Narayana Panicker, president of
Nair Service Society and a dominant public figure in Kerala for the last several decades, passes away at his residence at Changanassery near here on Wednesday, NSS sources said.
